... it is his gall bladder, he thinks he may have cancer. I wondered if the Glipizides might have caused an insult to his liver and possibly he should change meds and give his liver a break. Seems to me insulin would work better. He has lost weight. When I read about pancreatic cancer it says they lose appetite. He ate a huge breakfast at a restaurant/chicken fried steak and eggs, hash browns, bread etc/just this morning. I never said he stuck to his diet. He was carrying a bottle of aspirin and says he takes advil and ibuprophen, When I ask if he takes Tylenol. He is up and walking, eating, talking didn't realize he was yellow, neighbors had told him he was sick. He waited for a regular doctor appointment. He says he has lower abdoman pain, and his urine was yellowish brown

There are many causes for jaundice. According to info on glipizide it can cause damage to the liver. It is rare but possible and it states the person should stop the use of glipizide. I will paste in the paragraph below:
Hepatobiliary
Cholestatic and hepatocellular forms of liver injury accompanied by jaundice have been reported rarely in association with Glipizide; Glipizide tablets should be discontinued if this occurs
